caregiver for family member
My mil is a 65-year-old woman who has been on
dialysis
for over a year. She has had CKD for 20+ years, along with diabetes, HTN, and arthritis. I was looking for community online support because sometimes we feel information overloaded.

Is this related to the
dialysis
, or is something else going on? Juvenile diabetic, CHF, hypertension. Kidney function been decreasing last 5 years. I've been on transplant list (kidney/pancreas) for one year, was hoping to skip
dialysis
altogether. But here we go.

Officially Starting HD
So, my labs have finally gotten to the point where they've decided I need to start
dialysis
. eGFR at 6, high BUN, and high phosphorus point toward starting. I've had my (brachia-encephalic) AV fistula for a year.

To poop or not to poop, that is the question
I already have an issue with it because of Ozempic and being on
dialysis
. I had to stop eating oatmeal every day. I eat a ton of fiber and make sure I move during the day. I have to limit water because I cannot make it through
dialysis
any more than 2 hours or I have to pee.

Conservative treatment
Hi I’ve just been told that my dad who is 93 can’t have
dialysis
because of a lot of other health problems. His egfr is 6. His treatment will just be palliative although he’s not suffering from many symptoms at the minute.

It's been eight months since I found out I will need a transplant
My doctor told me I'd need to start
dialysis
/get a transplant when I got to a GFR of
10
. I had my blood drawn today and my GFR is
11
. I'm scheduled for a fistula surgery in the next couple of weeks so I can do hemodialysis. I am not able to do peritoneal
dialysis
.

Feeling sick after HD (advice for my dad)
Lately, he often finds that his blood pressure drops and he feels sick after he's returned home from
dialysis
, even if he feels okay during treatment.

Insurer allows listing at only one center
She has an eGFR of 18 so she may be able to hold off
dialysis
or she may need it soon. The carrier only has one in-network transplant center and the average wait time is 39 months. The insurer told us they would not sign a "single case agreement" with a second clinic with a shorter wait time.

Any Medicare Advice for ESRD?
He is on
dialysis
and preparing to learn more about a transplant. He is off our insurance in a few months and has been accepted for Medicare, but medicare is confusing, and some choices cannot be undone.

Three Times Kidney Transplant Recipient: "Third time's the charm."
Little did she know that this symptom would mark the beginning of a challenging journey–one that led to a kidney disease diagnosis, ten years on
dialysis
, and two failed kidney transplants.

Phosphorous questions
I am sure they will try to tell me to do more
dialysis
. But as it is, they do not take off any fluid and I still am dehydrated afterwards. I do rehydrate. But now I am worried about the phosphorous. Question one: How high did your phosphorous get?

Choosing your own in-center doctor?
My mom has been at her new
dialysis
center for about three months, and the doctor and NP assigned to her are pretty terrible. We noticed that a former patient had their own nephrologist who came to the center to go over lab results and handle any
dialysis
-related issues.
